Level 2Even / skillLevel 2 stays skill as her push speed is matched by your safe wave control.
Level 3Even / skillLevel 3 remains a coin-flip where her poke and your disengage trade off.
Levels 4-5Even / skillLevels 4-5 are still skill since you can dodge her W while respecting her kite.
Level 6LissandraLevel 6 favours Lissandra because her mobility ult doesn't answer your point-and-click Frozen Tomb.
First itemLissandraAt first item your E gap-close and root beat her kite, so the spike is yours.
Two+ itemsLissandraWith two-plus items your guaranteed R catches her immobile profile better than her skillshots catch you.

Early game (levels 1–5)

Levels 1-4 are skill. Taliyah pushes faster than you with Q and pokes with her E-W, so the lane is about matching her wave tempo and denying free roams — track her when the wave crashes in and ping her missing. Stay off her worked ground where her Q empowers, farm safely, and don't eat unnecessary W displacements into poke.
